Chapter 6: GOF

There has always been copyright laws ever since the beginning when books started being published. After the technological revolution, and the invention of programs, CDs, DVDs and CD-Roms copyrighting laws have been more widely used for these creations. The internet and new hardware such as CD and DVD burners, and digital and satellite services allow subscribers to record television shows without needing and where to store it other than their service box. The biggest copyright case over the internet was the case dealing with napster and its illegal use of downloading free music for artist and producers. While this was in the new did anyone ever think of being in the wrong or discontinued use? Are people still “stealing” music, movies, videos, and other copyrighted entertainment ?

I do think people thought they were in the wrong. But at the same time that was overpowered by the fact that they were getting free music so that was more important for them.
